Hey all. I need some help and for once can't find a solution myself. After the ics updates I can't click links on mobile versions of sites. I've un installed all my browsers and tried Chrome, stock, and ics browser + with the same result. The links highlight but don't go anywhere. I have to long press and choose Open.
Also, my phone constantly pops up with Updating Media Files. That is annoying.
Any help would be appreciated

When I got my G Tab from Woot, it came with Flash and several other applications already installed. When I got stuck in a boot loop and had to reset back to factory default, Flash was no longer installed. I went to the market and installed it again rebooted the tablet, and still wasn't able to access a flash based website I was able to view before. I have tried both flash 10.1 and 10.2 from the market. Is there something else I should be doing to get this app to work? Anyone else have this problem? The website I am trying to access is starfall.com (there are various flash activities that I would like to be able to do with my students).
Thanks for your help!
Are you receiving any error messages?
I recently went to the website you posted in your thread and I was able to use the website with the "web (default)" browser but not with "Dolphin Browser HD." The web went straight to the flash items and it work great but within the "Dolphin Browser HD," the website required me to update it and install a plug-in? The only difference between our G Tablet is my has TNT Lite 4.4 and yours is back to stock. Which stock are you in, 3389 or 3588?
I am in 3588 ( I was able to update before the OTA went down). No, I don't get an error message, it just shoots me to a webpage that states that the website requires a plugin that isn't compatible with my device.
Something else I noticed... although the flash application is showing up when I go into the system, and look for installed applications, it doesn't show up as an icon when I pull up the screen that shows all the applications.
I know it was working when I first got my tablet, and even after I did the OTA update.
Another odd thing (not sure if it is related) You Tube works as long as I am not logged into the website under my You Tube account, but it stops working if I log in. It will work again, if I log out.
See if common flash sites like CNN or ESPN3 work. If flash works on these sites, then the particular site you are trying to use is looking for a specific flash plug-in, such as the one used by IE and desktops. Sites such as Hulu and Fancast are looking for the Adobe Flash desktop plug-in.
There is a hack that will fake these sites in thinking you have the desktop version. Information about the hack can be found in this thread:

Have you tried switching the browsing mode or view to 'Desktop'?
As for Flash not showing up in your list of apps, it only runs, say, behind the scenes. Yo won't be able to really open it up like other apps. So it's normal that you can't find it.
Oh, and if you use Dolphin or some other browsers, they sometimes have flash specific options to use flash all the time, some times, or never. So it could also be your browser not allowing the flash to play
That was the problem.. I had my browser set to view in tablet form. It works just fine in desktop view. Thanks so much!
I have noticed that flash 10.2 on my Gtab with vegan Rom works at some websites and not others. With the stock rom, I was able to find the desk/tablet mode selection in the menus and make 10.2 work consistantly.
Where do I find this setting in the vegan rom?

On my stock HTC "Internet" browser, if i'm on a page and want to search for something new, when I press the search button and start typing, it will type inside of the current URL. To fix it, I need to hold my finger on the current URL, press "select all", delete it and then I can search. This is very annoying to do every time.
The problem doesn't exist on other browsers, but I want to use the HTC browser. A google search will show that many other people have this problem also.
I contacted HTC about it and they just told me basic troubleshooting steps (clear cache, factory reset, etc.) which don't work. I rooted my phone just to try a rooted stock rom to see if it worked.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

Well to answer my own question, I fixed it. I have harmonia rom, which replaced the HTC browser with the normal ICS browser. I took the browser.apk from a deodexed stockrom, uninstalled the browser included in harmonia, and put the deodexed stockrom HTC version into my system/apps folder, changed the permissions and rebooted.
Now the HTC browser is installed and has no problems.
I'm running ARHD 21.0 on my One and this problem has been happening for quite a few versions but isn't that big of a deal that I needed it solved right away, now it's just annoying.
I cannot download any files from either chrome or the stock browser. From chrome the download won't even start, if I use the stock browser it will start but as soon as it starts up it will say "Download Unsuccessful" and that's it. This happens for pictures, videos, Rom files (which i used to download straight to the phone to avoid using my laptop to transferring the file). Now if i go onto the facebook app i can save those pictures.
I've wiped the cache and data from both browsers and the downloads app but those didn't solve anything. I have done multiple wipes while upgrading ROMs.
Anyone else have this problem, and possibly know a solution?
Thanks in advance.
